Last summer, the Ministry of Economic Development gave an assignment to prepare an integrated remuneration pattern. The Ministry has developed and submitted to Igor Shuvalov a rigid two-tier regulation, which included a fixed annual salary (less than 50% of the remuneration) and a variable part that depends on a key performance indicator — KPI. In case KPI is not achieved, the rest of the remuneration is not paid.
The regulation has provoked a resistance on the part of some state-owned companies, because initially officials offered the third part, a bonus, which would not depend on KPI, so that top managers would be able to receive bonuses in the time of crisis as well.
